This course surveys the developments cultures of ancient Greece, beginning with that region's Bronze Age in 3000 B.C.E. and ending with the death of the Greco-Egyptian queen Cleopatra near the end of the 1st century B.C.E. Highlights include discussion of the politics of each era, including Athens' democratic experiment, and the roles of gender in society. We'll use primary sources, like inscriptions, literature, and material culture, to trace these cultural developments. Finally, we'll also look at the re-figurations of ancient Greece by moderns and relevance to us now. |

The act of eating and drinking in self-defining social groups preoccupied ancient Greek and Roman societies in ways that modern societies have inherited—although the forms of these gatherings have changed. We will study the history of banqueting in the ancient Mediterranean world, from communal feasts at religious festivals to the private Greek symposion and Roman convivium. Through artistic representations, architectural remains, archaeological finds, and literary texts, we’ll explore what kind of food and drink was consumed at these banquets, and what was offered to the dead at their tombs; the origins of reclining to dine and this custom’s social implications, and how culinary and dining practices can serve as a lens for recognizing codes of gender, otherness, status, and power in a culture. |

How do we access the history of a period in which the primary media for representing culture and society were not literate? The art, architecture, and archaeology of the Aegean Bronze Age, especially the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, provide tantalizing insights into the governmental structures, societal inequities, economies, wars, and religion in the region. Students will investigate the techniques and methods of Bronze Age artists and architects, as well as how their works represent race, gender, and ethnicity; the influence of foreign peoples on Aegean art and society; climate change, migrations, and piracy; and cult practices, including funerary customs through which so much of the material remains of this lost world has been preserved. |

This course builds on Latin 101 and 102 by covering complex grammar and expanding our look into aspects of Roman culture and society as Latin speakers created it with their words. How did Latin speakers describe the spaces where they lived, worked, and worshiped the gods? How did they interact with each other as citizens and family members? We'll read selections from ancient Latin texts and discuss their translation and interpretation. This course also prepares students for advanced Latin courses. |
